Fire extinguishers have exoskeletons? Usually they're called canisters, cylinders or whatever. The thickness is determined by how big it is, because the larger it is the more pressure it must hold in. A really small extinguisher has metal about as thick as a soup can. A huge extinguisher can have 5mm thick walls.
